    The Spanish GP Was So Boring We Slept Through This Episode | EP 034

    Four overtakes. Four. Tawana and Ben recorded this entire episode in sleep masks as a protest, because the first Madrid Grand Prix was the biggest snooze fest of the season, and yes, that includes Monaco. The autopsy: quali was brilliant (Lando on pole brushing the wall, Kimi P2), then the race gave us one good turn. Lewis takes his first DNF of the season with brake failure after a lap 1 squeeze from Max that has Ben pulling out Jeddah 2021 receipts. Stroll parks it a car length from the gap, the VSC drags on, and McLaren pit Lando into oblivion and fumble a certain win. Kimi picks up the pieces, win number eight, 81 points clear, and even he says it should have been Lando's. Then the scoring (Tawana 10, Ben 8, both wildcards hit) and the main event: armed with their own track editor, the hosts redesign the Madring live. Delete turn 5A. Widen everything. Send the invoice to the FIA. You can build your own fix at maggottsbecketts.org. Heads up: Baku race day is SATURDAY, not Sunday. New episodes every race week.

    Our Predictions for the Spanish Grand Prix 2026 | EP 033

    Nobody has ever raced this track. Madrid is on the calendar, F3 managed 19 DNFs on it, and Tawana and Ben are predicting completely blind, so this week the rules change: each host must pick a podium trio they have never picked before. Lindblad P3 gets said out loud. So does Gasly. Before the chaos: the standings after Monza have Kimi on 267 and George sounding beaten ("the gap is just too big now" — has Monza broken him?), the Rosberg conspiracy about those 50 laps on hards gets picked apart, Ferrari quietly banked a 200km filming day at Madring as the only team to see the track, and Vasseur finally admits team orders are on the table. Then the walkthrough: 22 corners, two tunnels, a 550 meter banked monster called La Monumentale, and almost nowhere to overtake. Wildcards: Ben says one of the big four ends up in the wall, Tawana says Sainz and Alonso score nothing at home. The home race curse is undefeated. New episodes every race week.

    Kimi Won Monza From P19 And We're Not Okay | Italian GP Reaction | EP 032

    He started P19. He won the race. Tawana and Ben lose their minds over Kimi Antonelli's 25-overtake charge at Monza, the most overtakes ever recorded in a single Grand Prix, from a 19 year old leading the championship. Also in the wreckage: Gasly takes a shock pole by two tenths, Leclerc and Hamilton go wheel to wheel at turn 1 before Leclerc crashes out at Parabolica on lap 3 (2020 flashbacks, anyone?), and the post-race quotes are pure poison. Ben officially pulls George Russell out of the title conversation, Mercedes pulls team orders again exactly as predicted, and Ferrari's strategy leaves everyone asking the same question: communication, when? Then the scoring: Ben's team orders wildcard lands for 5 points, Aston Martin's double DNF destroys Tawana's banker, and the bet finally claims its first victim. Ben 6, Tawana 5, and Tawana now owes Lance Stroll a public apology letter. Yes, really. Next stop: Madrid, a track nobody has ever raced. New episodes every race week.

    Kimi Starts LAST At Monza… Podium Or Disaster? | Italian GP Predictions | EP 031

    Kimi Antonelli leads the championship and starts dead last at his home race. Welcome to Monza. Tawana and Ben size up the Temple of Speed: 11 races in 14 weeks left, two braking zones, battery games and super clipping, Ferrari debuting yet another engine at home, and the standings after Zandvoort (Kimi 242, George and Lewis tied on 183). There's a Monaco 22 flashback into Ferrari's broken telephone radio problem, one take worth framing (back Lewis or lose your only shot), and the big question: does Toto pull team orders on George again? Then the predictions: full quali and race top threes, five-point wildcards (Aston ahead of a customer engine, team orders at Merc, Ferrari or McLaren), who cooks, who fumbles, and the bet finally gets stakes. The loser posts a public apology video to the driver they slander most. Esteban and Lance, one of you is getting a very nice message soon. New episodes every race week.

    The FINAL Dutch GP Broke Our Brains | Dutch Grand Prix Review | EP 030

    The last-ever Dutch Grand Prix went out with a BANG — and we have questions. Norris goes back-to-back at Zandvoort, lap 1 was pure carnage (smoke, spins, Max on the grass), and Mercedes pulled the mid-race swap that has us heated: Merc was right to ask… but should George have said no? We also get into Max signing to 2030, Ferrari's radio problem ("you have the data, dog"), Alonso appearing in P9 like a polar bear in a forest, rusty post-break pit crews, and Bortoleto casually hitting 360 km/h. Then it's scoreboard time — the closest bet we've ever had, decided by ONE point, with hot sauce shots on the line (postponed, conveniently). Plus: SuperSport followed us and we lost our minds, and we pick which driver we'd actually want to interview. Zandvoort, it's been real. See you at Monza. Peace. ✌️

    The LAST EVER Zandvoort… And It Might Rain | F1 Dutch GP 2026 Predictions | EP 029

    F1 2026 Dutch Grand Prix predictions — and it's the last ever Dutch GP at Circuit Zandvoort. A sprint weekend, a 60% chance of rain, and Kimi Antonelli 50 points clear. Nobody has any data. We predicted it anyway. Tawana and Ben are back from the summer break for episode 29 of MaggottsBeckettsF1, and Zandvoort has handed them the hardest predictions weekend of the 2026 season: one hour of practice before anything counts, a sprint on Saturday, rain in the forecast, and a set of 2026 cars that have never turned a wheel in a proper wet race. No data. All opinions. Kimi Antonelli leads Lewis Hamilton by 50 points heading into the second half of the season. Max Verstappen gets one final home race in front of the orange wall. Honda have brought a new power unit specification for Aston Martin. Cadillac have replaced their team principal mid-season. And with barely a handful of drivers signed for 2027, silly season is about to get very loud. In this episode: - Antonelli's 50-point championship lead, and whether anyone can actually close it - Honda's new power unit spec for Aston Martin, and who becomes the new back marker - Cadillac sacking their team principal, and why it might be far too soon - Rain at Zandvoort: what happens when cars with no downforce hit that banking wet - Losing historic tracks — is Monaco next? - Silly season 2027: almost nobody is actually signed - Are we putting McLaren back in the title conversation too early? - Full predictions for sprint qualifying, the sprint race, qualifying and the race - Wildcards, who cooks, who fumbles the bag, and a three-shots-of-hot-sauce forfeit The 2026 Dutch Grand Prix runs 20-23 August at Circuit Zandvoort. Our reaction episode lands after the race. New episodes every race week. Watch the video version on YouTube and play the games on our site — links below.

    EVERY 2026 F1 Driver From WORST To BEST | Mid-Season Tier List | EP 028

    The 2026 mid-season driver tier list is here. Tawana and Ben rank all 22 F1 drivers from E tier to S+, judged on one thing: expectations vs. delivery. It gets spicy fast: a reigning title contender is handed a D, Max Verstappen sits winless on a C+, Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg get the retirement talk, and the Williams teammates are separated by a single point and a Hungary incident nobody can brush under the rug. On the other end, rookie Arvid Lindblad crashes the S tier, Franco Colapinto is officially "your dependable Prius," Lewis Hamilton overdelivers on everyone's expectations, and Kimi Antonelli — leading the championship in his second season — earns a grade that doesn't officially exist: S+. MaggottsBeckettsF1 is F1 news the way fans actually talk about it — weekly Formula 1 news, fan reactions, race predictions, and unfiltered F1 paddock chat from two fans, zero filters. Think we butchered your favourite? Come argue. Last week's team tier list is in the feed, and "44 Laps of Pain" is coming soon. 👀 Follow @MaggottsBeckettsF1 on Instagram and TikTok.

    Grading Every F1 Team At The Summer Break (Fight Us) | EP 027

    Our f1 mid season review with receipts: in February we predicted George wins the championship and Williams finishes P5. The actual championship leader was not in our top five, and Williams is ninth with 11 points. So this is us grading every F1 team from S to E at the summer break, and the grades get personal — one team gets a straight E, the Ferrari debate nearly ends the show, and only one team earns an A. Proper f1 fan discussion and f1 paddock news: the Norris 14-second receipt, why nobody gives Lewis his flowers, the silly season around Red Bull's second seat, and week one of Ben living with Lance Stroll as his phone wallpaper. Formula 1 fan reactions and f1 motorsport chat every week from Maggotts & Becketts, even on break. Wallpapers and games at maggottsbecketts.org. Support the show: buymeacoffee.com/maggottsbeckettsf1
